质粒RSF1010从大肠杆菌到稀有放线菌头状链轮丝菌和星状诺卡氏菌的？…

RSF1010 is a naturally occurring Escherichia coli broad host-range plasmid about 8.7 kb in size. It can be mobilized at high frequency between different gram-negative bacterial species when transfer functions are available in trans. Following the pioneering work of conjugational transfer of RSF1010 from E. coli to Streptomyces lividans and Mycobacterium smegmatis, the transfer of this plasmid by conjugation from E. coli S17.1 tp two gram-positive rare actinomycetes, Nocardia asteroides 3927 and Streptoverticillum caespitosus ATCC27422 was first time reported in this study. Southern blot analysis of the total DNA extracted from the actinomycetes' exconjugants proved that RSF1010 had been transferred from E. coli into the two new hosts and maintained staby in the exconjugants. Meanwhile, partial deletions of RSF1010 replicon loosing its antibiotics resistance makers were readily detected in E. coli. The implenmentation of this observation was discussed.     

Construction of an Escherichia coli-Clostridium perfringens shuttle vector and plasmid transformation of Clostridium perfringens

A stable shuttle vector which replicates in Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens was constructed by ligating a 3.6-kilobase (kb) fragment of plasmid pBR322 with C. perfringens plasmid pHB101 (3.1 kb). The marker for this shuttle plasmid originated from the 1.3-kb chloramphenicol resistance gene of plasmid pHR106. The resulting shuttle vector, designated pAK201, is 8 kb in size and codes for resistance to 20 micrograms of chloramphenicol per ml in both E. coli and C. perfringens. Following shuttle vector construction in E. coli, plasmid pAK201 was transformed into E. coli HB101 and C. perfringens ATCC 3624A, using intact cell electroporation. The transformation frequencies were 10(6) and 10(4) transformants per microgram of DNA in E. coli and C. perfringens, respectively. Restriction enzyme analysis of the chimera isolated from transformants of both microorganisms suggested that the plasmids were identical. Reciprocal transformation experiments in E. coli and C. perfringens indicated no difference in transformation frequency. Plasmid pAK201 was stable in C. perfringens following repeated transfer in the absence of chloramphenicol pressure. The restriction map of plasmid pAK201 shows six unique cut sites which should be useful for future genetic analysis and C. perfringens gene library construction.

Purification of acetoacetate decarboxylase from Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 and cloning of the acetoacetate decarboxylase gene in Escherichia coli.

In Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824, acetoacetate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.4) is essential for solvent production, catalyzing the decarboxylation of acetoacetate to acetone. We report here the purification of the enzyme from C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 and the cloning and expression of the gene encoding the acetoacetate decarboxylase enzyme in Escherichia coli. A bacteriophage lambda EMBL3 library of C. acetobutylicum DNA was screened by plaque hybridization, using oligodeoxynucleotide probes derived from the N-terminal amino acid sequence obtained from the purified protein. Phage DNA from positive plaques was analyzed by Southern hybridization. Restriction mapping and subsequent subcloning of DNA fragments hybridizing to the probes localized the gene within an approximately 2.1 kb EcoRI/Bg/II fragment. A polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 28,000 corresponding to that of the purified acetoacetate decarboxylase was observed in both Western blots (immunoblots) and maxicell analysis of whole-cell extracts of E. coli harboring the clostridial gene. Although the expression of the gene is tightly regulated in C. acetobutylicum, it was well expressed in E. coli, although from a promoter sequence of clostridial origin.

Molecular cloning and characterization of a genetic region from Serratia marcescens involved in DNA repair

We report here the molecular isolation of a DNA fragment which encodes Tag-like activity from the Gram-negative bacterium Serratia marcescens. A recombinant plasmid encoding Tag-like activity was isolated from a S. marcescens plasmid gene library by complementation of an Escherichia coli tag mutant, which is deficient in 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I. The clone complements E. coli tag, recA, alkA, but not alkB, mutants for resistance to the DNA-damaging agent methyl methanesulphonate (MMS). The coding region of the Tag activity, initially isolated on a 6.5kb BamHI fragment, was defined to a 1.8kb BglII-SmaI fragment. Labelling of plasmid-encoded proteins using maxicells revealed that the 1.8kb fragment encodes two proteins of molecular weights 42,000 and 16,000. Data presented here suggest that the cloned fragment encodes a DNA repair protein(s) that has similar activity to the 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I of E. coli.     

Analysis of the lacZ sequences from two Streptococcus thermophilus strains: comparison with the Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus bulgaricus beta-galactosidase sequences

The lacZ gene from Streptococcus thermophilus A054, a commercial yogurt strain, was cloned on a 7.2 kb PstI fragment in Escherichia coli and compared with the previously cloned lacZ gene from S. thermophilus ATCC 19258. Using the dideoxy chain termination method, the DNA sequences of both lacZ structural genes were determined and found to be 3071 bp in length. When the two sequences were more closely analysed, 21 nucleotide differences were detected, of which only nine resulted in amino acid changes in the proteins, the remainder occurring in wobble positions of the respective codons. Only three bases separated the termination codon for the lacS gene from the initiation codon for lacZ, suggesting that the lactose utilization genes are organized as an operon. The amino acid sequence of the beta-galactosidase, derived from the DNA sequence, corresponds to a protein with a molecular mass of 116860 Da. Comparison of the S. thermophilus amino acid sequences with those from Lactobacillus bulgaricus, E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae showed 48, 35 and 32.5% identity respectively. Although little sequence homology was observed at the DNA level, many regions conserved in the amino acid sequence were identified when the beta-galactosidase proteins from S. thermophilus, E. coli and L. bulgaricus were compared.
